I will say your pattern, seriously.

[@louie8604]

The perfect pattern is the pattern that acdc used in almost all their songs, it keeps time perfectly and is easy

[@johnmccoy2049]

Any combo of RLLK and RLRLLK in 32nd notes where the doubles are ghosted on the snare and the accents are orchestrated around the kit. The first left stroke in the second pattern can also be ghosted to add a bit more spice. Creating unique combos of these patterns can sound great where the accent is moved from the downbeat to the offbeat and back again. Mike Johnston has a video on this with a specific pattern but I've loved getting creative with it and exploring options.

I need you to know I am 52. Played drums from 15 to 25 and never cared about technique or reading. It was about playing loud and stoned. Then at 25 I just stopped playing. Then at 45 I played at a friends request and fell in love with drums in a way I never had before. I played everyday from 45 to 49. Some days 4-5 hrs. Then hit a devastating divorce (had nothing to do with drums) and couldn’t play for at least a year and a half. Then life changed and I was playing again everyday. I have always wanted lessons but don’t resonate via online. So I forged forward with this insane desire to play and get better. Anyway for a long time I felt like I needed more and I stumbled on this and it opened up a whole new world. THANK YOU for helping me turn another new page!

[@m.rodrigues9687]

Man, I had the same story. I stopped playing for 15 years and now I am so into drumming, it's scary ! Thanks to these videos, I have reached a level I never had before !

[@frankkalejo8809]

Same here ! Stop playing for 25 yrs. Been playing again for 7 yrs . The biggest mistake of my life was to stop . I played jazz in Chicago now I found myself in Las Vegas playing with a BLACK SABBATH TRIBUTE BAND I never hit tge drums so hard in my life and I'm loving it Keep drumming Gentlemen ✌️

Putting the pattern in the thumbnail makes me even more likely to watch the video, because now that I know how _perfect_ it *looks,* I want to hear it in action. Your use of similes in regards to language and music was also helpful. Thanks for breaking down the pattern so clearly, as always, and showing different applications for it!

As someone who writes music with keyboard and computer and not a drummer, this still helps a lot with ideas and trying to keep things believable when having to do something more "acoustic" and not synth. This is very cool!

Kinda makes me wish I still played set - and that doesn't happen very often - my hat is off to you sir :D

[@zgergtgegfregf2894]

RLRK If there was such a thing as rudiments between hands and feet, or "kit rudiments" then this sticking would have to be one! An essential one too! This is one of the first stickings with a kick in it that makes every beginner go - "whoa, I'm doing next level stuff that pros do too, I'm onto something here!" And it also follows you through your intermediate and advanced stages without diminishing returns. Also, it sounds great the first time you can barely play it on a snare and kick and it only gets better as you develop control and spread it around. It's also a great fill on it's own, a lead, a bridge, a stop, a great building block for a ton of other fills too (one of my favorites fills that start with this sticking is STFK SKSS > RLRK LKRL) It can easily be orchestrated in different ways but also there aren't a crippling amount of options with it; it also loops easily; you can play it to great effect at different rates, at different tempos too; it's a rock staple but it's got it's uses in jazz and in extreme genres of music too. It's also been around since forever and once you recognize it, you find it everywhere. To my ears though it's pretty timeless too, it doesn't sound either modern or old, and it's one of the first stickings that made me think of the drums as one instrument.

[@mattperkins7038]

[@letsshredzambia4739]

this is an awesome pattern

[@Euthyphro]

RlRlRll Rlrll Rlrl 7 5 4 = 16 Plus, you can add or take away any of the accents. That, or keep the groupings the same, but change the sticking.

[@TomWolfDrum]

Thanks for this video! I've been working on this one a lot lately.

[@kodyloper5980]

My perfect pattern would have to be RLR(l)(l)K because of how versatile it is in all styles and genres, and if you pay close enough attention, you can find this pattern pretty much everywhere. Some of the greatest artists and KZbinrs use this pattern a ton. Also, it helps in places where you have no idea what to play or if you need to spice things up without losing that nice pocket feel.

[@JamieElvisGass]

Real nice tone. Awesome chops.

[@billbigler1366]

Adam great video as always. I came up with a pattern I really like as it just fits my limb movements and brain. It is two six note patterns finished with four sixteenth notes. I usually just finish the last four on the bass drum using a double peddle and crash on 1 with a kick. It is: K Hi Tom Left Right Right Left then a six stroke roll starting on Hi Tom then followed by last four sixteenth notes on bass drum and crash on 1. Obviously all played as sixteenth notes. Thanks for asking and love your work. Bill

Do I notice something different? More light/24 fps/faster shutter speed?... I'm curious, something is making this video look crispy AF. Epic content as well. Thanks for this.

Brandon Scott Nailed it. Lol. 24fps at 250/300, instead of my normal 50-100 range. Made a big difference on the 85mm (left side cam.) Good eye brother!

[@BrandonScottDrums]

@@AdamTuminaro NICE! I'm pretty proud of myself for noticing that. Haha I only know this because I love the look of the sticks with a fast shutter speed. It kind of gives everything a faster look...

[@Smigzi]

Only spotted it second time around. So subtle but that makes me like it more!

[@simpletricksph2510]

Saw it

[@Thatdudewiththedogs]

@@RockOn78 it's actually super simple. You simply swing the stick backwards, keeping that fulcrum in between your thumb and first finger. You can rotate the stick, almost in the motion of a circle, forwards and backwards. It's an awesome stick trick, because it gives the illusion that the stick it being thrown or moving fingers, but it is actually staying in the same spot, just being rotated. I hope this helps!

[@roicasuela9468]

I always practice this pattern and it's cool and perfect for me !

[@jacobwalker7507]

Im liking this exercise. Its definitely going to add other dimensions to my fills. And i am a typical right handed drummer that is accustomed to playing crossover but in the past couple of years have become maybe 90% as comfortable playing open handed as i am playing crossover. But in all honesty i seemed to be having trouble with this in terms ofspeed and fluidity so just to see i tried it: lrrkklrklrrkklrk basically reversing hands only and this is where i found my speed and fluidity for some reason because being right handed i almost would thought this exercise to have felt more comfortable using the exact sticking illustrated.

[@QUANTUMMUSIC101]

EPIC!

[@serdarev]

I have to think carefully about my favorite pattern but.... You’ve made my day today with this one. After beeing more than convincing in my alternate stroke paterns/fills with casual “classic” double stroke patterns I was thinking where and how to start incorporating more “complex” patterns in my grooves/fills... And than I’ve noticed your Instapos about playability of multistroke patterns which in turn led me to this one. I’have a strong feeling that this is the “chosen one” for me. I’ll let you know....

[@Lenix217]

The 6tuplet RLRllK is super modular. Even slight dynamic changes make the rudiment sound completely different.

[@jordanosz2962]

[@markomarkovic5729]

This may not be the perfect pattern, but it's worth adding it to my bookmarks.😀 Another pattern I really like to use A LOT is RLRLLK. It can be played either as a fill (triplets or straight 16th notes - 2 x RLRLLK + RLLK, or just RLRL), or as a spicy groove. You can play different accents, by playing the first 3 notes accented (RLRllK), or by playing every R accented, and every L ghosted - RlRllK. You can also start it on different beats, there are so many options... I'm not sure, but it's possible that you made a video about the same pattern.
